Food and Wine – New Jersey Lawsuit Hopes to End America’s Last Ban on Selling Homemade Baked Goods

Earlier this year, New Jersey became the last remaining state in the U.S. to ban the sale of homemade baked goods without a license. The Garden State earned that distinction in May when a judge struck down a similar ban in Wisconsin, a ruling that was clarified in October to let all Wisconsinites know they could start selling baked goods immediately. Now, Institute for Justice, the same legal team behind the successful Wisconsin lawsuit, is announcing a similar lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Health during a rally and press conference being held at the Union County Courthouse this morning – with both New Jersey bakers and Institute for Justice hoping for repeat victory.
